What it does

Remote Debugging is an agent skill from WrongStack/WrongStack. Diagnose a reported application failure on explicitly authorized remote hosts using bounded logs and runtime evidence. Use when local behavior differs from a known server or deployment; start read-only and keep diagnosis separate from disruptive remediation.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Debugging. The repository describes itself as: An AI coding agent that reads your code, edits files, runs commands, and reasons through bugs — across a terminal REPL, a full-screen TUI, and a browser UI, while you keep your… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Local behavior differs from a known server
  • Start read-only and keep diagnosis separate from disruptive remediation

Example prompts

  • “/remote-debugging”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Pin the symptom, expected behavior, time window and affected authorized service.
  2. Capture running process/image/revision, effective non-secret config and resource signals before proposing a fix.
  3. Use bounded log/profile windows and minimize sensitive data capture; whole env dumps are not diagnostics.
  4. Distinguish disk/memory/network/service conditions from application errors using evidence.
  5. Preserve the live access path; restarts, tracing overhead and data changes need authorization within the maintenance task.
  6. No broad discovery, third-party probing or access-control workarounds. A missing boundary is a diagnosis gap.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a744bdc. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • freedesktop.org
    • opentelemetry.io

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Remote Debugging loads about 868 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 320 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~868

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Remote Debugging

Selection card

  • Task: Diagnose remote processes and networking over SSH. / TR: SSH üzerinden uzak süreç ve ağı teşhis et.
  • Start: Identify the authorized target, current health and rollback boundary.
  • Finish: apply the acceptance checks below; report observed results and unresolved constraints.

Overview

Diagnose a reported application failure on explicitly authorized remote hosts using bounded logs and runtime evidence.

Verify the actual runtime/package/container versions and source identity on the target; current host facts outrank assumptions from local builds.

Rules

  1. Pin the symptom, expected behavior, time window and affected authorized service.
  2. Capture running process/image/revision, effective non-secret config and resource signals before proposing a fix.
  3. Use bounded log/profile windows and minimize sensitive data capture; whole env dumps are not diagnostics.
  4. Distinguish disk/memory/network/service conditions from application errors using evidence.
  5. Preserve the live access path; restarts, tracing overhead and data changes need authorization within the maintenance task.
  6. No broad discovery, third-party probing or access-control workarounds. A missing boundary is a diagnosis gap.

Workflow

  1. Connect through the approved SSH/observability surface.
  2. Read service status, focused logs and relevant deployment/config differences.
  3. Form one hypothesis and run the least disruptive bounded check.
  4. Apply only requested/authorized remediation and verify the actual remote behavior.
  5. Remove owned temporary instrumentation and state any remaining live risk/uncertainty.

Before returning

Remote identity and symptom captured; evidence supports the cause; remediation scope and actual health stated; secrets/instrumentation handled.

Sources

Skills in scope

  • ssh-operations — connect to and administer explicitly authorized hosts through OpenSSH with verified identity and bounded operations.
  • linux-service-ops — configure and troubleshoot application services on an authorized Linux host with explicit service ownership.
  • debugging — debugging contracts and verification.
  • incident-response — diagnose and recover an owned service incident with bounded changes, timeline evidence and verified health. Use during outages, bad deployments or data/service degradation; preserve evidence and separate mitigation from root-cause repair.

Can I use Remote Debugging in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add WrongStack/WrongStack --skill remote-debugging -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/remote-debugging, .gemini/skills/remote-debugging, .github/skills/remote-debugging and .opencode/skills/remote-debugging in your project.

What does Remote Debugging need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Remote Debugging is instructions for the agent only.

Does Remote Debugging access the network?

SKILL.md names 2 domains. As links in the text: freedesktop.org and opentelemetry.io. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Remote Debugging safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
